This amplifier is suitable for
low power uses in any kind of personal music system where high
quality sound is desired, such as for an apartment or a bedroom system where music is
listened to at closer distances or at moderate levels. It is, of course, also
suitable for large, very high efficiency speakers in a music
lover's main system.

Within its low power output, the “Mini
Amplifier's” sound quality exceeds that of many other
company's full-size components.

Wright Audio doesn't make
sound or construction quality compromises according to an
amplifier's size or power output.

A physically smaller amplifier than the Wright Audio
Mini requires too much
compromise. Examples are amplifiers with cheap 'switching'
and wall-wart type power supplies which have no place in music
reproduction, those using tiny output transformers and
amplifiers which display tubes on the chassis yet use
transistors as the output devices. These
are simply 'novelty' amplifiers.

Despite its size, this amplifier follows our high standards
of quality for both sound and construction:

1.) Oversized output transformers with extended
high-frequency response, capable of handling 3 times the power
output.
2.) A rugged vacuum tube power supply which operates at
only 35% capacity.
3.) A power transformer specially wound for low mechanical
noise and restricted electrical field, operating at only 60%
capacity.
4.) All hard-wired construction for easy updates. No
circuit boards.
5.) Uses currently-manufactured, popular and best-sounding
tube types for this application.
6.) No solid-state devices, integrated circuits or
transistors anywhere in the amplifier.

We've used the best parts
found in our larger amplifiers known to make a sonic difference,
such as the special taper conductive plastic volume control, the
Silmic capacitors and the oversized tube power supply which
supplies
almost three times the capability than required.

The small EL84 / 6BQ5 output tubes are preferred by some audiophiles over the larger
types for musicality. In this amplifier, the electrical
operating parameters of this tube have been set more
conservatively than usual for longer tube life with a slight
reduction in power output.

The amplifier is offered in two output tube connection
options: Triode or Partial Pentode. The Triode
version offers a very pure, peakless sound with great detail,
depth and
better separation between acoustic instruments. The
Partial Pentode version offers a more alive, vivid midrange with
more dynamics and slightly more power output. Choice of
these options is determined by the type of music preferred.
The degree of difference between them is subtle but noticeable
with some extended listening. For general listening,
we feel the Partial Pentode option is best in this amplifier and
offered as standard.

Controls: Power, Inputs A and B Selector
Switch, Stereo Volume, Left and Right Channel Level Presets.The Left / Right level presets replace the more standard
'Balance' control which is a 'half-set' control, meaning the signal is
always going through half the potentiometer, not good for sound.
Normally, these level presets are turned all the way up. Lower the
louder channel in order to balance the volume of the two channels. Turning
both controls down can also compensate for unusually high output source
components.
